FWA Site of the Day: MINImaps

MINImaps is a massively multiplayer driving experience, where users can challenge their friends to a race in a MINI car, location, time of day, track and length of their choice. Can’t seem to catch your friends online? Go ahead and challenge a complete stranger to burn MINI rubber, or to beat your hottest time on your very own track. By Christian Etter for DDB Paris. FWA (SOTD), 18th October 2011

FWA Site of the Day: Stella – Black Diamond

Anrick Bregman shot and built the digital counterpart to the Black Diamond, a complex long-form interactive story designed to offer a third person perspective of the Black Diamond story. Set in a world of stark black and white imagery, with a rich and immersive stereoscopic soundtrack, the slow drawn out pace and reflective feel sets a contrast with the current fast paced action enjoyed by online viewers. FWA (SOTD), 13th October 2011

FWA Mobile of the Day: Krave Krusader

In your relentless pursuit, you must run through the Krave world catching as many Choc Chunks as you can, while trying to avoid or smash through all the obstacles and jumping the gaps. Collect the many different power-ups as you go to help you along the way to a winning score. Each week, one Top Krusader wins a limited edition prize pack! Don’t forget to top up your score by collecting as many chunks on the move as you can in ‘Choc Pursuit’, which uses Google Maps to determine your location, and alert you to nearby chocolate. For iPhone & Android. FWA (MOTD), 4th October 2011

FWA Site of the Month: The Planet Zero

‘The Planet Zero’ is a new 3D microsite from ROXIK using his proprietary Sharikura 3D engine. The interactive piece was created for Japanese agency ENJIN, to promote Nissan’s new eco-friendly range of vehicles. Roxik is represented by unit9 outside of Japan. FWA (SOTM) – September 2011 FWA (SOTD), 26th September 2011

Dope Awards, Site of the Day: Bali Temple Explorer

We love TV documentaries about art and travel. But even the best of them inevitably suffers from what you might call “the tyranny of the edit”: the director/editor chooses what you see and for how long. The website lets you explore a Balinese temple, shown with over 150 interlinked HD videos.

FWA Site of the Day: Sony Project Shiphunt

unit9’s dedicated games team have built Project Shiphunt: Oceans of Treasure for Sony. One of the first ever real games created in Google Earth, Oceans of Treasure is highly immersive, giving players the opportunity to soar and explore Google Earth’s skies and plunge into its waters in search of shipwrecks around the globe. Directed by Robert Bader for 180LA. FWA (SOTD), 2nd September 2011

FWA Site of the Day: Brand Toys

Brand Toys revolutionizes the way we see brands and their characteristics. With careful creative direction from Takayoshi Kishimoto and Roxik’s pioneering 3D engine, Brand Toys breaks the mould in brand data visualisation as we know it. FWA (SOTD), 19th August 2011

FWA Site of the Day: Green Lantern

Users test their strength, focus and agility in three interactive games that combine webcam technology with augmented reality, in this technically challenging website directed by Fredrick Aven for Deutsch New York. Do you have what it takes to roll with DC Comics’ Green Lantern Corps? FWA (SOTD), 14th August 2011

FWA Site of the Day – Converse: Desire

Contemporary interactive storytelling meets traditionally branded music video in this seamless flash-driven microsite for Converse, directed by unit9’s Anrick Bregman. A very collaborative project that gives Facebook users and their friends a chance to feature in a music video alongside Blur’s Graham Coxon, Bill Ryder-Jones (formerly of The Coral) and Platinum-selling artist Paloma Faith. FWA (SOTD), 12th August 2011

unit9 inducted into the FWA Hall of Fame

“Since unit9’s first FWA win back in February 2003, it very quickly became apparent that this company would go on to become one of the world’s leading digital creative production companies. Working on some of the most innovative and memorable interactive experiences we have ever seen at FWA and embracing new technologies, whilst also pioneering the way for the likes of mobile design and development, unit9 and its credible list of directors are in a league of their own.” – Rob Ford, FWA Founder

John Lewis: first ever banner ads to win FWA SOTD

We’ve crafted some banners for adam&eve to showcase the new John Lewis fashion range for Spring 2011. These rich media banners offer a wealth of clever features including a combination of slow motion video action with beautiful CGi weather effects and elements, geolocation technology and a smart weather API to determine the users local weather condition. FWA (SOTD), 22nd July 2011
